To my knowledge, there is no "flipLR.sh" script that x-flips the volumes and surfaces; updates the specs and scenes; etc.
It is possible, but not simple, in my opinion. Fast is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm guessing you could pull it off under a week, QA included. Reliable -- this is the real achilles heel. What is your script forgetting to do? What did you forget to check? I haven't had to do this since 2004 or 2005, but I will spare you the "how is this possible since NIFTI" sermon. You're in enough pain right now. I could dig out scripts I have written before to do this, but the file formats were older, and the details of your issue might call for different solutions. The freesurfer folks might have something like this, and if they do, it's probably written as a shell script. It might be useful if only as a checklist/tool-jogger.
